This book uses Māori Kaupapa (a Māori approach, practice) to provide unique insights toward the anthropological understanding of power and place in Heretaunga, New Zealand. It examines the power of Māori leaders and ancient and modern archaeological and historical landscapes over the past six centuries. It highlights Māori warfare, characterized by impressive fortifications known as pā. Severe impacts of the colonial period are also discussed, including demographic calamity, changes in settlement pattern, and the innovative ways that Māori leaders sought to navigate the last half of the nineteenth century. Recent history and modern issues are examined as well, particularly the rise of tribal self-government. Importantly, the roles of female leaders are examined for each period. This book will be of interest across many disciplines for those interested in conflict and warfare, complex pre-state level societies, colonialism, power and women, and indigenous adaptions to globalization.

Stella August is pursuing a Master of Archaeological Practice degree from the University of Otago, with the objective of protecting cultural sites from damage or destruction. She also has a BSc and MSc in Marine Science from the University of Waikato. Her research investigates the environmental factors that influence the upstream migration of glass eels into the Tukituki River, a significant awa (river) to many Māori of Hawkes Bay. Her research has been supported by her iwi, the tribe Ngāti Kahungunu under the leadership of the Chairman, Ngahiwi Tomoana. He recognized the importance of having Māori specialists such as marine and freshwater biologists, geneticists and environmental planners. As a research assistant at the University of Waikato, Stella conducted field surveys and laboratory experiments on fauna and sediment from the marine environment. While at the Ministry of Fisheries, a liaison role between the three sectors in the fishing industry aided fisheries management, facilitated awareness and education and improved consultation. Stella is the primary author of one article: August, S.M. and Hicks, B.J., 2008. Water temperature and upstream migration of glass eels in New Zealand: implications of climate change. Environmental Biology of Fishes, 81(2), pp. 195-205.
